is this fashion? i've talked to a lot of our commonwealth colleagues in the commonwealth family and they're facing real challenges on things like climate in the here and now and, and all the conversations i've had with them. what they're most interested in is, can we help them working with international institutions, financial institutions, on the sorts of packages they need right now in relation to the challenges they're facing right now? that's where i'm going to put my focus rather than what will end up being very long . endless discussions about reparations on the past. that despite calls from leaders of some common wealth nations urgent and to acknowledge the atrocities that committed during the transatlantic slave trade. and to at least have an honest conversation about it. i don't know that money in and of itself could adequately compensate for the wrongs of the past. the ghost that haunts us today cannot be in my view, dispelled by and wanted to re gift. there should be a come to jesus moment where we truly looked at one another in the eye and say, look, this is what happened. the commer well,

summit has highlighted that britain is a long time april and so in its former colonies is finally declining. the guest list certainly isn't as impressive as london wanted to have the most powerful commonwealth leaders who would normally be present. the indian prime minister and the south african president boats, not the event. they often to attend the brick summit in russia instead, and not even the leader of canada. a close ally of the u. k is attending, while london's refusal to talk reparations is leading to even more people turning their backs on the former colonial center. in the, the ability to move into i said i got as much as i was kind of the

referendum people. yes, it is now time for us to end our historical ties with the monkey and stand holy on our own. we need a jamaican head of state who truly represents all values, culture and aspirations, and who will symbolize our full sovereignty. even the commonwealth games a sports event, gathering applets from across the former colonies are falling apart. in july last year, the australian stage of victoria pulled out as a host of the 2026 games. while older was fairly in the states and territories also rejected hosting them. and while london watches what remains of its former colonial powers slipping through his fingers, russia and his brakes partners are teaming up to build a world free of any forms of neil colonialism. we spoke with a nigerian historian, an educator who says that the question of reparations cannot be ignored. so what do

i make it is that's the, that's us. that's the spot. sweet place. no, do you michel, of the british political system on the bus. but some of the buses that up up the loose on in the british bullets, we'll see if the, this is a bid on whether it gets warm to find the product. there's nothing different. no, but i was worried about between the political, you know, boxes be because i bid, you know, be the political party. because most of the said, most of these political parties, all the same idea off to all the object to the body shop with you in the body shop, we're going to get started. but the point of doing that going to be good on bad level studies, believe the 2nd one is ignoring the body shop, was done because the mission of the government as well. because mon, i d u like i put them a lot during the budget slavery, do you like the most duly going to the end of the country?

it's done much at all for many to do that, but gives me brief. i saw she met so much well as she's not willing to do the dime, she's not willing to let us go expression of this. what does she have to meet? the medical helicopter has crashed in central russia, leaving no survivors. one pilot and 3 doctors were on board the doomed flight, and their bodies have already been found by a rescue team. the regions governor says that the aircraft went down a few minutes after take off, while the incident itself is now under investigation. that's all for this our here on our to international but stick around cuz there's more coming your way in just about 30 minutes. the the

experience of especially with one of them is mr. brockovich. thank you very much for your time to welcome to them. first of all, how do you assess this current bridge? somebody taking place in russia, if somebody could hear? so the summit will certainly go down in history just because this is a storage summit and the decision is taken at the summit and will be implemented in the subsequent period. i am sure that many economic platforms of the world will analyze the results of the summit over the next 10 or 20 years. i know from the beginning of attempts to isolate russia, to the most wonderful summit with the participation of the greatest states for x, which is developing at a truly faster speed than all others. suddenly, i am sure that all the best that we wish for bricks will come true. the spear

cannot make approach that the brutes countries have implemented since the foundation of the block and the results that they have achieved show. but today, the brooks members have of course, greater purchasing power than the g 7 countries. and now the multi pull, the world is beginning to live in all its fullness and the global political changes that we can see today, of course, have the results of global economic changes. it seems to me that it is especially important to create clearing centers that will help the states make all its mutual settlements safer and more specific. and what is very important, cheaper and faster mobile detail in radiation as an element of the future. development of mutual settlements between the bricks. countries is the basis for the future economic success maker. and these new mechanisms and new institutions or financial ones in the sphere or mutual settlements, mechanisms for paying off debts between the countries participating in the british

process will help them not only the ports countries. they will also help other countries. countries of the global south countries of the global east small countries category is therefore, i believe that the foundation laid at the summit in cars on will have historical significance for the entire world economy in the subsequent periods. no sign of distinction uh much. the summit is truly the largest, i would say in the entire history of briggs. and i would like to ask you, the berks association has existed since 2006, and that is for quite a long period of time. but we see that last year in south africa, 5 countries joins briggs. now there's a q to join the association in the form of full membership or partnership, and that was why in your opinion is such a boom happening right now. such an exponential development of the association the is to, well, i think 18 years is not such

a long period of time actually. it started very easily. so nobody could have imagined how the economy would develop in the next 18 years when it all started. the enormous successes of china, russia truly global changes in the economic markets of the world. absolutely. several crises in the economy of the whole world, which showed who is stronger and who is weaker. all this lead to today to these bricks results. and of course, many new bricks, member countries wanting even more me to category. and i am sure that if we talk to you in 3 or 4 years, the number of countries, the want to become members of friction, will be even much greater than it is today. the main thing is that the foundation of everything is mutual understanding between countries. compliance with international law, respect for the policy of any state, the joints brooks, a respect for the implementation of an independent policy of any country. and it is very important to respect the economic factor of development of any country single

story when countries treat each other with respect for international law. and with the respect for political or economic development. it is much easier to create and make progress. and therefore, today, thanks to the truly correct economic policy of countries and states here. first of all, i want to mention china and the russian federation. vic, there is such a results that i me 2 years ago, everyone expected the russian would be on its knees regarding the economy, but today rush, it is a 4th economy of the world. such a result has not happened for a long time, is of di to everyone expected something else. but the wise incorrect policy of your president vladimir putin wise policy if your government and the results of self confidence. and it seems to me a turn towards yourself. import substitution is the beginning of cooperation with new or old partners. besides,

it seems to me that all this helps russia and china with the greatest successes in the economy. i am sure that somebody uses with other bricks, members, old and new, will bring many benefits to the economy and the entire world funeral garter. i see a big country of us speaking about serbia, your country, serbia. as far as i understand is considering joining briggs as an alternative to joining the you number. what do you think is the advantage of partnership with brooks over the in you for your country or for serbia say to be made. so you will, you have, serbia, has its own european programs as our president said, serbia is on the path of european integration. but there are many obstacles on this path. i personally believe that these obstacles cannot be bypassed, but still our political program is like, this will not be your pin union is our t economic partner today. and this cannot be denied. the majority of irby and citizens and in the past period expressed

a desire to follow the european path and become a member of the european union. but our citizens are tired of many. i should even use the sort false promises of the european union. so as not to use some harsher word or the position of absolute values that are absolutely strange to our citizens . i constantly creating opposite goals so that we do not become members of the european union. there they wanted. first of all the we never become members of the european union contraptions. and i think that this will lead to the fact that serbia will never really be a member of the european union. there are 2 main obstacles. the. the 1st is coastal and metal here. this stylish in your opinion, wants us to renounce our coast of all our hearts. this is absolutely impossible to get this survey will never do this. cost of all it has always been is and will be an internal part of the republic of serbia. is

a false states of false increase. this is a states that was created on the trade issue, the organs terrorism, it was created exclusively by the us and the european satellites of the us in order to take this part away from serv. yeah. but they failed. was like 25 years have passed since 1999 for them, kosovo is a still born child of god. and that is why they will never succeed. that is why it was created on lies and deception was. it was created on the murders of serbs on the trade in human organs and they will definitely never be any results serve you will never give up its parts. i shall do that. that is why the 1st obstacle is practically and fear radically impossible to get around. that is why i am sure he pulls for to and the 2nd officer goal is that we are also under pressure even under threats to impose sanctions on the russian federation, oregon. and you can also call me stage here,

the 95 percent of the citizens of the republic of serbia are against us. our government, our president, food church will never take the stomach that will be against the will of their people. and i can assure you here that serbia will never impose sanctions on the russian federation forces and therefore the people are a little tired of this path to the european union. and today we can calmly say that when the interest of citizens was at the level of say, 65 percent today it has re somewhere around 35 to 40 percent, which is almost the same as the interest in brooks voided. so even though i can say this, my assessment is that more so the sense would like to become members of brooks. if brooks developed strong unifying mechanisms that would allow serbia to become a full fledged member in the future. use of orders for holding a more just because of course today, this is unrealistic, it is about to become a partner member. this would be in my opinion, and i deal option today, or percentage survey and citizens love. bricks is why?

because bricks represents international off the bridge countries, respect the kosovo is an integral part of serbia. they rejoice in our economic success and do not impose their interest upon us. so it'd be still be our president food church and the government think exclusively about the interest of the serbian people about the interest of our citizens. and we are not interested in the interest of other countries, especially the united states or the european union, which very often imposes its interest on us, on many points, and what is even more dangerous. it's values. you know, economics is economics. politics is politics. but there are traditional human values in our country. children loved their mother and father, and a man loves a woman. and a woman loves a manager, but they impose on us absolute values that are not traditional,

that are far from our serve. and people that they want us to call our mother. we're father parents, number one impaired number 2. so that children there from the age of 12 determine what gender. they are cool. i mean for our survey and people this is unacceptable. and therefore this constant imposition by the european union does not exist in bricks. the bridge countries are very cultured and respectful of both international law and the interest of any state that is a partner, a member of bricks. and therefore, i see truly a norm as cooperation between serbia and the bridge countries in the future. so this will happen in a year, in 5 or in 10. no, but our vector is already going in that direction, which is so cooperation with russia and china is already going really well dressed . i am sure that in the near future cooperation with other brooks countries will begin to develop the same pace. the next cause i will store miller and dod accent,

then purchase offers partnership while the you is looking for servants. how do you feel about special phrase? how do you feel, how would you comment a category a 2nd is how can one disagree with such smart words? the respected precedent don't ex, i agree. we have to write a category which across was not us a person who knows very well how business works in practice. or what is your attitude. the topic that we discussed on most panels seems the syrian russia, which has the birds chairmanship, the creation of a single financial system of practice, in your opinion, is it necessary to create such a system? how close is the prospect of inspiration in the near future? and for ordinary people, fortunately, businessmen, interviewers, why is the presence of such a system important in the modern world? the brakes are familiar and i've tried to think about that for bridge. the main thing is to start developing the system to sustain everyone is way to and the whole world is waiting for the system. your father. maybe we can say now that we are

a little late with this idea, that is why this idea is very important. it is important for states, it is important for an. 1 realistic for businessman, the system that will allow for much greater speed is much cheaper than the system of mutual settlements. smallwood, it is the basis of the economic foundation and therefore today there are new mechanisms before and how to get to currency tomorrow. many are talking about the currency debate. i am a little more realistic. it seems to me that we need to wait a little. it is a process, of course, and we'll get to the currency one day. but it seems to me that today we need to use all digital opportunities to opportunities and all new mechanisms of mutual settlements create new clearing centers that would allow us to start developing these mechanisms and mutual settlements. and systems of mutual settlements. not

only between the perks countries, but also with other countries, and between industrialists of small, large countries, countries of the east and the south with the north and the west. this is very important information. therefore, the heart of bricks development. this is what you mentioned to me. this is the 1st, perhaps the main element funding will also give impetus to the new economic development of the bridge countries and not only the bridge countries, alternative systems will lead to a completely new economic impulse for the whole world. you know, monopoly in any industry is not good. why should there be monopoly in the financial sector? orchard, therefore, it is very important to develop these alternative paths and everyone is sincerely waiting for this both states and businessman and industries. who is of cause, i think just based on the facts to see i've been, i'm already sent. and this is true that surveys under very serious pressure from the west because of its physicians, even just political positions,

turning towards bricks, moving towards the partnership one. briggs isn't certainly afraid of even more pressure from the west coast on the previous you know, we have somehow gotten used to it. and our president food judge is pursuing a truly independent and free policy in the interest of the serbian people. and it will continue to do so. as long as president bush is in power, as long as this is our government, we will tolerate all of this pressure. sometimes i would say that even these are real threats of sanctions or some other elements, you know, when you respond and when you are confident in your strength, i know that you are doing the right thing for your state and for your people. everything is much easier for you just so therefore after all this, that serbia has lived through were recently bombed by the natal packed in 1999, the entire needle packed against one small serbia. most of the guys i'm gonna do is

like the view smoking. there were sanctions, i think was we were under sanctions like the russian federation today. and we still survived. we are living and today the serve in economy is the absolute leader in the balkans is the leader in south eastern europe and one of the 5 fastest growing economies in europe to the west if you will. in the 1st 6 months of this year, our growth was 3.5 percent, which is the highest growth in europe. and i can tell you, although we were bombed now, we were under sanctions today, 25 years haven't passed. today we have the greatest investment attractiveness because that for the reviews of all the investments, the comments of the balkans, 60 percent of investments from abroad go to serbia and 40 percent of all other countries by showing you the shows the strength of the economy and everything that has been done in the last 12 years since president food church. and the new government came to power and he's 12 years more has been done in the infrastructure, is in investments in medical institutions in the schools and hospitals due to the

growth of salaries, the growth of pensions more has been done. then in the previous 50 years and the development sector is the same in the future of luxury. the forecasts of all international economic experts regarding serbia in the next 5 years are the same. and just 15 days ago, for the 1st time in history, the 1st of all the balkan countries, we received an investment rating. this will give survey of the opportunity to receive even more investments and has investment of attractiveness much greater than before. therefore, to all the business men with whom i spoke industrialism, politicians, i say to everyone, welcome to serve you with your investments. we have them factors, very good cooperation with the european union. but we also have a free trade agreement with china, a free trade agreement with russia. and recently, we signed a free trade agreement with egypt. from serbia, you can export anywhere without customs duties. because it's,

and it seems to me that this factor is multi faceted. and the only thing we can do in serbia, if we want to do good for our citizens and this is what present and future, our government is doing, deal it. oh so that's it for us. so you're sounds horrible, so sanctioned in november last year. has your life changed in any way? some of the sanctions were introduced. how do you feel about it? like the sunset science? yeah. yes. you know, sanctions or sanctions give us the right to the united states of america to impose sanctions. they are post them on me and another minister. and also i'm present mendota, but we live. we live under sanctions sized sanctions were imposed solely because of our positions. because of my position towards the russian federation, i believe, and all my ancestors consider russia to be our closest friends. we have no one closer to the school and then all our wars and the 19th and 20th centuries. even in

the 18th century, we were always with the russian federation with russia. we were with czarist russia . we were with the soviet union. it was a few days ago. we celebrated 80 years since the liberal ration of belgrade from the fascists. the red army and the army of serbia did this together. you know, we will never forget this. we will never abandon russia. russia is our brother russians, our closest friends and russia has always been with us. but that might be my opinion to share by exactly 90 percent of serbian citizens. for me it is more important with the citizens of serbia think than what the american staple. thanks phil. i'm his cookie. in general. do you have any figures and what role to briggs countries, plant in service for entry turnover now variables because expo. uh so yes, i can say that the largest investor in our country is china with investments of 5600000000 euros. and china is

a leader and exports. the 2 largest enterprises from serbia are the metal or trickle plants and the cities are for estimate or over. the 2 largest export is from serbia, one of the 40 go to the, the russian company gas problem. narrative bought the oil industry of serbia back in 2008. and today gas from that is the largest tax payer in the budget of the republic of serbia. about 12 percent of the entire budget is filled from the income of gas problem navigation. the potential therefore, we have good economic indicators with individual bridge countries, less with other countries. but i think this will change in the next 5 or 10 years. so we have a goal set by the president to strengthen the multi vector polls of economic development. i must say of the new members the joints. we have very good relations with the u. a. e. the largest construction projects in belgrade are being done jointly with the law just construction company in the u, a. e m r. for years,

they built the most modern project in belgrade on the solve a river help build great on the water. and this is the pride of our country. after so many years, we're doing super modern projects in the best place in belgrade. and this will continue for just the trust and with saudi arabia. we're also now creating a good basis for relations. in 10 days, i will be in saudi arabia, on an official visit, where we will talk with our colleagues from re odd about future development and the continuation of strengthening economic relations. i am sure that this can give a lot to both the african market and the middle eastern markets. and i think that if we continue to visit these markets together with russian companies and work on the synergy of our companies, i think the results can be even better. i think what would be 253, any mobile homes? the last question i can tell, but ask, you know, after all, you are, are now communicating with the tv channel against which not even an information

campaign has been launched, but a real information more as you know against us. they're all sorts of the sanctions, but not just pressure. they're practically trying to push us out of the information field in the world. what do you think about this? why is this happening right now as i'm doing? it's a, it's a, it's a, is a tech support. this is one might say, do any, indeed. this isn't just, is this a cynicism, the west talks about democracy, of freedom of speech, the west talks? what does the opposite? if you are more t opinion is different from that of the official us bodies. you're the media. we close. your broadcasting is bands. i think this has never happened in history. so that is why the bricks and countries do not do this. and i must say, serbia is not a member of the european union, not a member of brooks, but our, our chief broadcasts really well, who's an issue. and we are very glad that you are in serbia. very conveniently. modern m very professional elements of almost all broadcasting,

such as accessible and close to the people. websites, your true purpose, and my parents, 89 and 87 years old, often visit your website. they read. people want to hear different opinions and think of that in russia and china in serbia, in the bridge countries, democracy, real democracy is developing. and you can hear different opinions. but what is happening today in the west is absolutely different from what they say. they say one thing do something completely different towards cynical cd. i can say we are working brothers and this is about you in us about russian serve us. thank you very much. is true. thank you've a

look. doesn't state the sense of getting an internet man, but of some of those things in mind that got those. com yes, because the shows and much the number you just didn't have from the magic. you know, whatever the missed on this meeting goes the yeah, probably sheila or not allow me to change the subject. you know, one that i give, i'm not going to do i want to let them eat to. i'm in the clips can we can also just do that. just the mcgill, i'm the mother to release the financing to either given that or then load into so much little ocean move them procedures. tell me what's going to be moved to bowers . i'm gonna sit or not split them huge companies with those checks in their state police whose opinions because it was such a penalty. so sudden,

you know, it was that the boy lived in years with no way most eating. curtis the the same wrong. just don't you have to safe house to come and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support we choose to look so common ground

the the with over 70 percent a valid counted the ruling party of georgia is officially leading the rates taking at least 53 percent of today's parliamentary vote also ahead if the regime in iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new year round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. israel valves to strike around yet again, if to run responds to the idea of overnight attack, which talk to a radian soldiers killed the also this, our molly considers ending a deal that's allowed a canadian gold mining company to profits in the west african country for decades. that's after the russian president spoke out again.
